Those EBC Red are the right pad, I am running the same ones. The Boxster S front pad has the counterweights or whatever they are called, but I believe the 996 front pads can also fit, and those are the ones that don't seem to have the ears. I had a set of Akebono ceramic that didn't have the ears. It looks like your old fronts were the 996 style.

The wear limit on the S rotors is 2 mm which works out to 1 mm per side - if your lip is 1 mm then you are at the wear limit, so it may have been time for you to get some new rotors anyway.

Meyle is a good german brand, when it comes time to replace my fronts (may be a while since they are relatively new now) I will probably try them. I have a set of ATE for the backs - they were a good price but not as good as those Meyle.
